The Wren I will work just fine. I put together my first hard drive about a
month ago using the Supra adaptor ($99.95), Adaptec 4000A SCSI controller
from Timeline ($60) and a CDC Wren I. It formatted down to about 31 MB.
The Wren is not in Supra's menu, so you should write down the following
numbers and use them:

	Heads			5
	Cylinders		697
	Interleave		1
	Reduced Write		698
	Write pre-comp		128
	Landing zone		698
	Step pulse rate		4
	Reserved tracks		0

I got this data from a CDC technician.
